ISLAMABAD: MNA Muhammad Aslam Bhootani on Sunday said former chief justice of Pa-kistan (CJP) Saqib Nisar and his son will be summoned by a special commit-tee to audit, inquire and investigate the purported audio leaks with a PTI tick-et holder.
On April 29, the saga of recent audio leaks took an interesting turn as a fresh clip emerged, purportedly featuring the voice of ex-CJP Nisar’son, demanding a “reward” for a “job done for a PTI ticket candidate”.
In the audio, a voice purported to be that of Najam Saqib can be heard saying to the person on the other end that his father had worked very hard to get the job done, and the caller on the other side, said to be PTI ticket hopeful Abuzar Chaddhar, can be heard saying he would come to meet Najam’s father after submitting the ticket.
In the clip, the voice said to be Najam’s can also be heard asking Chaddhar to meet his fa-ther the same day and, in conversation with another caller — identified as Mian Uzair — asking for “not only delivery of the goods, don’t take less than 120”. Subsequently, the lower house of Parliament had approved a motion authorising the speaker to constitute a committee to probe the audio clip. The National Assembly Secretar-iat thereafter issued a circular on May 2 for the 10-member committee.
Speaking in Dawn News show ‘Doosra Rukh’ today, Bhootani, who is also the chairman of the special committee, said the investigation could not move forward if Nisar, Najam and the person being heard in the audio leak did not come forward and record their statements.
“You need to understand that the parliament is helping Nisar. If there is anything against him and he has been badmouthed and levelled with baseless allegations then we will con-duct a forensic analysis with the help of investigating agencies to ascertain the facts,” he added. –Agencies
